Device for supplying label sleeves

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for supplying label sleeves to a container. The device includes an uncoiling means for providing a film hose from a reel; a supplying means for separating a label sleeve from the thin hose; and a tensioning device configured between the uncoiling means and the supplying means. The tensioning device enables the film hose to keep the pulling stress during a conveying process. A reverse brake device for the film hose is configured between the tensioning device and the supplying means. The invention also relates to a labeling apparatus comprising the above device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for supplying label sleeves according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Containers (for example beverage bottles or the like) can also be equipped with sleeve-like labels. In the supply facility, the labels are torn from the film tube supplied on the supply reel, preferably along the transverse perforations in the film tube, and slipped over the container to be labeled in a manner known per se. The transverse perforations are preferably produced with a perforation facility arranged before the supply facility. Furthermore, for the controlled conveyance of the foil hose between the supply reel and the supply facility, the foil hose is deflected between tension rollers and is kept as uniformly stressed as possible. [0003] When the label sleeve is torn off in the supply facility, the film hose behind can be subjected to strong mechanical loads, so that it tears prematurely, especially in the ar...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The foil hose is usually detached from several reels, so that the foil hose has to be re-passed through the tensioning device in the conveying direction until it reaches the supply facility, a work step that takes an undesired amount of time and, moreover, only one operator cannot Finish
